Shoot The Dead - Don't Stop Dancing

Brighton four piece Shoot The Dead (a rather morbid but curiously enchanting band name) are the kind of battle of the bands spawned outfit who are making waves for all the right reasons; chiefly, their music is actually good.

Don't Stop Dancing is the perfect intro to the band if you've not head of them before; a punky, synth-laced bit of grinding bassline and shouty vocals. Like a cross between a more hefty Go! Team and The Silversun Pickups, they deliver a scathing critique on capitalism here, the chorus ringing out to a cry of 'It's all about the corporation and how you and I will cease to be!'

Lead singer Andi makes the track, channelling the Pretty Reckless in her shouts of 'Don't stop dancing!' Don't worry Andi, we won't. The indie/dance thing has been done so many times but remarkably Shoot The Dead manage to find a new angle on it; Don't Stop Dancing sounds distinctly fresh and lively.

There's a real 'get up and do it yourself' ethic going on here - the band's sound feels profoundly 'them'. They're not playing to any trends, just making the kind of music they clearly love and are passionate about.

As the band's press release rather humorously puts it, playing on their initials, 'this is one STD you need to catch!'

Don't Stop Dancing is released on the 27th June.
